HOWELL-JONES LLP

We would like to express a huge thanks to Siobhan O'Connor, Adara Bridgeman, and the team at Howell Jones Solicitors (Raynes Park) for their outstanding work during our recent house purchase in South Norwood.

This successful purchase follows two previous aborted transactions where we were forced to pull out. On both occasions, Siobhan and Adara provided critical, sound advice that shielded us from risk, uncovering complex leasehold issues that were further compounded by unhelpful sellers and estate agents concealing material information from us. Having their sharp legal minds on our side during those stressful times (particularly as first time buyers) was nothing short of a blessing.

It has been quite a 12-month journey across the three transactions, but this final purchase was completed in just four months despite involving some complex probate work, alongside extra surveying requirements given the age of the property and our planned light renovation works. While we expected these issues to cause bottlenecks, Siobhan and Adara demonstrated great skill and due diligence to ensure a remarkably speedy turnaround. Their proactive chasing, especially during a tense final week of delays thanks to paperwork and communication issues on the seller’s side, ensured we finally got it over the line.

Thanks to their support, we have bought a house we can truly make a home for years to come. We will be recommending Siobhan and Adara for anyone needing conveyancing support in future.

Thank you both so much!

Ali and Ellie

My wife and I wanted express my huge appreciation for Siobhan O'Connor and Adara Bridgeman at Howell Jones Solicitors (Raynes Park), for their guidance and support with our recent sale (March 2026). We had constant and significant challenges with inaccuracies from the buyer's solicitor as a result of them not being on top the details/ latest status. In addition, we had unreasonable delays from our flat Managing Agents, which amplified the overall delay. Thanks to the proactivity and forward thinking of Siobhan and Adara, we were able to successfully complete the sale. Given the challenges we had experienced, we were on the verge of pulling out, but the sensible advice and efficiency, helped get us over the line, as planned. Would highly recommend Howell Jones Solicitors for service with efficiency, professionalism and proactivity. Thank you Siobhan and Adara.

Both Leena and Sara were extremely responsive and always easy to get in touch with throughout our house buying process. As first-time buyers, the experience can be quite stressful, so having such an experienced, professional, and reliable solicitor made a huge difference.

Leena was incredibly helpful from start to finish, and we felt very supported throughout.

I’ve already recommended her to friends and will definitely continue to do so. Thank you for everything!

I can’t recommend Siobhan and the team at Howell Jones Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, their service during the sale of my property was truly exceptional.

Despite a particularly challenging conveyancing process—made more complex by two very difficult co-freeholders—Siobhan and her team remained calm, professional, and completely on top of things at every stage. Their communication was outstanding: always prompt, clear, and proactive, which made a stressful situation feel far more manageable.

What really stood out was their dedication and attention to detail. They anticipated issues before they arose, kept everything moving forward efficiently, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure the transaction completed successfully.

I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and support throughout the process. They haven’t just helped me complete a sale—they’ve gained a customer for life.

If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed solicitors firm, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Howell Jones.

Thank you again to Siobhan and the whole team!

Howell Jones provided an excellent efficient service for the sale of my apartment in Chiswick. It was very easy to deal with Leena and Sara and they successfully navigated some challenging negotiations with the buyers’ solicitor. Most of the communication was possible via email, telephone and shared docs which made life much easier for me when travelling and not having to rely on paper and post. I highly recommend Howell Jones, Raynes Park.
